Wow, and the M3 splash page now has video with as much douchebaggery as the worst of the M3 drivers. Noisy as hell loading screen, terrible logic, corny phrases to try to sound cool, and lots of incredibly false and smug statements like "barely street legal, infact." BMW definitely knows their demographics well.

Well, also lately there was a big switch to more fuel efficient engines. The new M5 is the first M car to finally ditch a high revving naturally aspirated engine and go for a lower RPM turbocharged engine.

this switch saddens me

I can see a future where there are no big blocks or big C.I. engines, only small, torquey tarbo'd things
